The cathedral is jaw dropping. Our pet monkey had to sit down.... it was really quite overwhelming.

Beautiful inside..they R renovating it, so a bit noisy outside. Inside is very historical.. if they cld put a bit more info we cld have a better idea of what is what and who built what??! In French of course but in English too being the international language! Inside needs repairs too unfortunately.. could be much more interesting to visit. How about u have to put 1 euro to light up the place so we can see things more clearly as it's very gloomy inside?? Just a suggestion

Front porch was under renovation and bar the wrought iron bell tower the front of the Cathedral is relatively simple, only 2 or 3 gargoyles on the front hint at what lies within. The cathedral is dark, long and broad with short arms for the normal cruciform layout, but the surprise is the sections/vaults along the left and right of the main body. Each section is about 10 feet wide and contains a dedicated altar or area for a particular dedication to a Saint or similar. Some are highly ornate in gilded wood or plaster, some held carved stone, marble or paintings. Everywhere paintings added to the depth and quality, bare stone walls were a rarity. Wonderful to explore
